Proprietary management and higher readmission rates: a correlation.
This study examined readmission rates of patients for six diseases including acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, coronary artery bypass graft, pneumonia, COPD, and total hip or total knee arthroplasty from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Readmissions Reduction Production (HRRP) for 2012 to 2015. The type of hospital ownership was the variable that was being studied. There were statistically higher readmission rates in proprietary (for profit) hospitals compared to government and non-profit hospitals. This was true regardless of their location.
